Nursery Rhyme book with COMPLETE nursery rhymes

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
My DD is 2.5 and she's very very into nursery rhymes right now. She recites them, sings them, and asks me to read them over and over and over again.

She especially likes to hear the WHOLE nursery rhyme - all 4 verses of Jack and Jill, all 3 verses of Rock a Bye Baby, both verses of Sing a Song of Sixpence, etc. Much to her frustration, most of the Mother Goose books we've picked up only have the well known shorter versions (one, maybe 2 verses). I have not managed to memorize all of these.

She really likes to look at the illustrations while reading the rhymes. She is only 2.5 after all. Can anyone recommend a nursery rhyme book that is more thorough with the rhymes?

I haven't seen it yet (I have it on hold at my library), but from the reviews I get the impression that A Child's Treasury of Nursery Rhymes by Kady MacDonald Denton has complete nursery rhymes for at least some of them.

Hope this helps!

You might like this one: The Real Mother Goose I still have my copy from when I was a little girl and we read it often. It has lots and lots of nursery rhymes, some long ones, and sweet old-fashioned illustrations.
